Jeffrey Donovan recently spoke to the press about his role as Michael Weston on Burn Notice, which has its 2-hour fall premiere tonight on USA Network at 9/8c. At the end of the first half of the season, Anson was killed by a man named Tyler Grey, but in the process, Michael’s brother Nate was killed, as well. On the hunt for Grey, Michael, Fiona, Sam, and Jesse went down to Panama, and they figured out right at the end that Michael’s CIA handler, Card, was responsible for it all. I’ve gotten to see tonight’s episodes, and they are fantastic. So check out what Jeffrey had to say about that, the show in general, and what might be coming up.

On Michael’s relationship with Grey & Card

Jeffrey: Well I think you’re going to be in for a big surprise with Grey. And it’s going to be very shocking. So the – you’ll realize after you see what happens, why that’s kind of a difficult question to answer.

But I will say that the relationship that Michael has with Grey and Card is going to turn Michael down a path that even Sam will question Michael’s integrity. And I think that’s what the fans are going to really be interested in is how dark will Michael go?

And I think that the fans are going to kind of enjoy seeing Michael go down a very dark path and that’s what’s going to be enjoyable about the rest of the season.

I had the chance to talk with Jeffrey Donovan (Michael) & Gabrielle Anwar (Fiona) from USA’s Burn Notice recently. That is my favorite show and I LOVE them, so I was nervous, excited and thrilled beyond belief to get to be a part of the call. I had a great time asking a couple of questions and listening to all their answers, so check out the interview below and then catch the season finale this Thursday on USA at 10/9c. (The pictures here in the interview are all from the season finale on Thursday. Click them to see the bigger version of each one!)

Are you surprised at the success of this show? And I know at times, for USA, the show is either competitive with NBC or sometimes even through passing and are you surprised with the following that it’s gotten over the years?

J. Donovan Well, I think that all you can hope for is that you make something that people want to watch and then somehow keep integrity while doing that. And so I think we’re very happy with the ratings definitely. I know we work really hard, so surprised, yes, we’re always surprised when anything succeeds in this day and age.
